[Tissue Comprssion Elimenator, ZAP! ZAP!!!!]

Peri is nice... But she has this accent that is driving my up the wall.
Does this exist? Am I just imagining this?
Has anyone figured out where the accent is from??
It sounds a little as if she is from New York or something... 
(No offense intended to anyone from New York)

Please mail me, and I might post the responses.

May the Master never get you with his Tissue Compression Elimenator,
Thanks in advance for all helpful information leading to the sucessful capture 
of Peri's accent,

Mat

John Nathan-Turner says that the idea was to make Peri have a
"wholly ridiculous" accent.  It shouldn't resemble any U.S.
dialect, nor any other country's.
I think he says that it has, or will be, slightly toned down,
i.e. more consistent, not saying "Dahkterr" and "Glahss" in
the same sentence...
